Section 181-10 of Ogden, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 181 establishes penalties for violating the chapter's housing provisions. Any individual, partnership, association, or corporation found in violation may face a fine of up to $250, up to 15 days of imprisonment, or both. Importantly, when a violation continues over time, each day—or even a portion of a day—counts as its own separate offense, meaning penalties can accumulate rapidly.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 181-10 of Ogden's Chapter 181, property owners and managers who remain out of compliance with the chapter's requirements face escalating exposure, since each day of a continuing violation is treated as a distinct offense. Operators who identify a potential violation generally move promptly to correct it, document the corrective steps taken, and maintain records showing the date compliance was restored. Staying current with all Chapter 181 requirements is the standard practice for avoiding the compounding effect of per-day penalties.

Section 181-10 of Ogden, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 181 provides that violations of the chapter's provisions are punishable offenses, which means ongoing noncompliance by a landlord can generate a new violation for every day the problem persists. Tenants who believe a landlord is violating Chapter 181 may consider reporting the condition to the appropriate local code enforcement authority in Ogden, which has the power to pursue fines and other penalties. Consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Monroe County housing law can help tenants understand what documentation to gather and what enforcement paths are available under this provision.
